Meta has made big changes to its content rules. Mark Zuckerberg decided to reduce fact-checking and allow more freedom of speech.
Advertisers are worried that these changes will lead to more harmful content and misinformation. Some companies fear their ads will appear next to toxic content.
Meta replaced key employees with people linked to Trump and Musk. The company is also ending diversity programs and focusing only on serious issues like terrorism or fraud. Instead of professional fact-checkers, Meta now uses a "community notes" system, where users flag false information.
Many advertisers think this system is risky and slower. Critics argue Meta’s changes could hurt its reputation. However, some believe that advertisers will stay if Meta continues to deliver good results.
Zuckerberg’s focus is now on AI and staying competitive in politics and business. Experts see these changes as both ideological and business-driven.

📝 1⃣ Ключевые слова из статьи:
🔴 ignite controversy – вызвать споры
🔴 back-to-back gestures – жесты, выполненные подряд
🔴 elicit huge cheers – вызывать громкие овации
🔴 Anti-Defamation League – Лига против клеветы
🔴 Holocaust remembrance – память о Холокосте
🔴 extremist groups – экстремистские группы
🔴 far-right and anti-establishment parties – ультраправые и антисистемные партии
🔴 banned fascist party – запрещенная фашистская партия
🔴 Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration – инаугурация Дональда Трампа
📝 1⃣ 📝 📝 📝 📝 📝 📝 📝
Elon Musk caused controversy when he made two gestures during Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration. Some people said Musk gave a Nazi salute, while others defended him, saying it was a Roman salute. The Roman salute was used by the fascist leader Benito Mussolini, and later by the Nazis. However, historians argue that the Roman salute wasn’t used in ancient Rome but was created in the 19th century. After the incident, some people suggested that Musk’s gesture was just an awkward expression of enthusiasm. The Anti-Defamation League said it wasn’t a Nazi salute, but critics disagreed. Musk has been very open about his political views and has supported far-right parties. His influence has affected politics in Europe, where he backs anti-establishment groups. The Roman salute has become a symbol of fascism and is banned in some countries. Some people still try to separate the two salutes, but many believe they have similar meanings.

Stroppa later posted that the gesture was “simply Elon, who has autism, expressing his feelings by saying ‘I want to give my heart to you’.”
Позже Строппа написал, что этот жест был «просто проявлением чувств Илона, страдающего аутизмом, который сказал: «Я хочу отдать тебе свое сердце»».
